Leti, AEPI and iSketchnote Creators to Participate In MEMS Executive Congress, Nov. 7-8, in Napa, Calif.: ISKN Present at Inaugural ‘Elevator Pitch Session’; Sponsors Leti and AEPI to Provide Updates on M&NEMS and the Grenoble Region’s Entrepreneurial Offer

Grenoble, France | Posted on November 5th, 2013

ISKN recently raised $346,127, nearly ten times its Kickstarter goal of $35,000, for its launch of iSketchnote, a smart iPad cover that integrates a new digitizing technology with the convenience of a notebook. Company executives will present at the conference's inaugural MEMS Elevator Pitch Session, a showcase event that will feature the most promising MEMS technology companies and business innovators today. The audience will include venture capital funds, seed investment funds, angel groups and other investors as well as experienced entrepreneurs who will get a closer look at upcoming companies.

Co-sponsors Leti and AEPI will also host the morning coffee break on Friday, Nov. 8 (10:45-11:15).

They will offer materials and information on Leti's advanced multi-purpose MEMS and NEMS platforms, and the technology, business and support infrastructure that makes Grenoble-Isère a global center of innovation in micro- and nanotechnologies, sensors and semiconductors.

The MEMs Executive Congress, organized by the MEMS Industry Group, will be at The Meritage Resort & Spa, Napa, Calif.
